It started with me trying to play the violin. For one year. My parents piano had always had a central place in their house so I continued playing and taking lessons. Never feeling free, never feeling a flow. 

Then came silence, no music was played. 

By a coincident I ended up in France on a music project disguised as a cultural project. Everyone was highly trained musicians. They didn't have any piano there and under our first morning sessions I almost panicked. I'm going to be in this project for one month and I have nothing to contribute with. In the middle of the floor was a flute. I thought for myself, how hard can it bee. It's just a scale up and down.

For a month I struggled with the flute and learned how far more complex it is to play than I ever could have imagined. 

Going back home to Sweden and revisiting my parents piano I realised that something had changed. Suddenly I could play and create more music like I never had done before. I felt free in my relation to music. 

The sound of my freedom is what I want to share with you.
